T Stands for the Proper Way to Eat Tim Tams


While shopping at Ocean State Job Lots, a bargain store, Himself found packages of Tim Tams. Tim Tams are Australian cookies  (biscuits).  Chocolate cookies with a creamy filling and enrobed in chocolate. There are several varieties: Original, Dark Chocolate, Chewy Caramel, Double Coat, Murray River Salted Caramel, and White. I've had the Dark, Original, and Chewy Caramel. 

Apparently, I haven't been eating these cookies correctly.

From Toots: and remember you have to also try the normal choc one, put one end into your Coffee, and suck it through the Tim Tam.

She even sent a link to a video


 

I don't drink coffee so Toots suggested a cup of hot chocolate. I gave it a try, and though delicious, I didn't like the Tim Tam melting so I would have to cram the whole thing in my mouth. No, thanks. I'll savor them one bite at a time.

Besides finding the cookies at Ocean State Job Lots, I have also seen them at Target.

I haven't heard of or seen TimTams, but like you, I'm not a cookie dunker so I'd prefer them straight up. Next time I'm in Ocean State Job Lots or at Target I'm going to look for them because I'd love to give them a try. Happy T day CJ. hugs-Erika

I'd never heard of Tim Tams til you mentioned them, and as I read descriptions and look at photos (and your video) I don't think I've had anything similar. They do look good. Happy T Tuesday

I've never heard of timtams and wouldn't be able to follow the instructions; don't drink coffee or hot chocolate; flavored waters yes; don't think the timtams would do well in it tho !

I had heard of TimTams from various Aussie bloggers. They seem to be a favorite with many of them. I think one even had a recipe for making your own!

My Target and also World Market had them for a while, in a few flavors, and I especially loved the mint ones. Target hasn't had them lately, though.

This made me smile! I've never been a cookie dunker myself ~ Enjoy your week!

A friend who lives in Australia sent me some Tim Tams, and I loved them. Had no idea I was eating them wrong, though. Thanks for sharing the proper way, and your hot chocolate with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ. Sorry I was MIA for several days. Just couldn't get your page to allow me to leave a comment.

I have never heard of Tim Tams but they sound rich and so good. I don't know if I would like to dip them in hot coco or coffee either. Have a nice evening.

sandy said...

Never heard of those. I like coffee so I would try that.

CJ Kennedy said...

These cookies are so delightful

CJ Kennedy said...

One bite at a time. 😸

CJ Kennedy said...

No worries, dear. I've been having problems on various blogs leaving comments, too.

CJ Kennedy said...

Dipping in liquid loses all the chocolatey goodness coating on the outside

CJ Kennedy said...

😊

Valerie-Jael said...

I have had them a few times, but I prefer to bite mine, piece by piece! Happy T Day, Valerie
